At both senior games today ,
Inniskeen too strong for killanny, a late goal gave it a false scoreline , Inniskeen at least 6 points the better team,
Latton always in control v Donaghmoyne, won by 6 in the end , Donaghmoyne have really gone backwards this year, expected them to make a big break through last year or this , but not happening for them ,
Would expect Latton to beat Clontibert in the last game with qualification already secured, can't see Clontibert getting too excited when guaranteed a semi spot,
Inniskeen will beat Donaghmoyne easily on today's showing s ,
Interesting to see what team scotstown put out v cremartin, again guaranteed a semi spot, would they be happy to get corduff out of the way,
Again would expect ballybay to beat Aughnamullen, Aughnamullen with nothing to play for going into the last game

Latton swatting donaghmoyne with minimum fuss but that killanny game could real come back to haunt them. Easy wins for scotstown and Inniskeen also. Next week will tell the tale. Donaghmoyne and aughnamullen look in a spot of bother.

Donaghmoyne have accumulated some amount of underage div 1 titles in the last 10 years and always competing but at senior football they have been woeful

Toome kept Irwin relatively quiet , but for the third goal he fairly burnt the Toome defence and left Murphy on his arse! Was misused at corner back for the county this year I think. Every time he gets on the ball he takes his man on . Very exciting player to watch very quick and powerful

Was at 3 senior games all weekend.

Aughnamullen V Cremartin- Cremartin robbed this in my opinion. Big point to win it fair enough but they should have had a few more yellow/black cards. Fouls galore. Kerr, Hanley and Mooneys frees were the difference. Alot of handy frees. Unsure where they stand now against Scotstown but can't see them go any further. Aughnamullen still won't go down I don't think.

Scotstown V Corduff Darren Hughes ran off the field as freely as he ran around it all day. He had a good day out winning plenty of ball and getting it away to runners. Scotstown were always in control and won every battle bar the 'who can shout the most on the line' one.

Latton v Donaghmoyne- Donaghmoyne couldn't break that 3 point gap at all. Looked very limited with their kick out options. Nearly every kickout went 50/50 and Latton won the most of them. Latton looked 10 points the better team but conditions weren't ideal in Latton with the wind. Few good young players Latton have there McGorman wing back kicked 1-1 from play and was everywhere. Dempsey was good in first half, K Duffy solid as always. Latton dropped 6/7 short in first half with the wind but were actually more efficient in the second half against the wind. They will probably play an understrength Clontibret team next week and leave it down to score difference with Inniskeen.

Intermediate- Carrick and Blayney can still top their groups whereas Maghercloone and Doohamlet will fight it out next week for top spot. Very tight tables which is great to see. Tyholland v Clones is a massive one also. Tyholland had an awful league and now could see themselves in a quarter if they can get over Clones.

Junior- Serious result for Oram beating favourites Toome. Drumhown also got result but top place is all down to Drumhowan and Eire Og next week. All to play for. Fancy Oram to make a final here but could meet Toome again.

So for Group 2 it comes down to if Latton can get one over Clontibret and in the same breath get one over Inniskeen and take 2nd spot. I expect Inniskeen to beat Donaghmoyne but you never know - neighbourhood rivalry might come into play and Killanny would be gifted 3rd spot.

Massive win for Truagh. They were out of the championship with 3 minutes left and now will definitely make a semi final minimum in my opinion. Blayney will be absolutely kicking themselves for not holding on to the draw in Emyvale first day out. The can only be in a semi final straight or relegation playoff barring a draw or harps win/draw.

Group 1 intermediate is very weak, Tyholland or Blackhill in a quarter won't have too many worrying. Mitchells look to be in cruise control but havent been really tested- you can say the same for Doohamlet.
All the intrigue is on the other side. Next week if Emyvale win by 4 and Blayney lose by 4 then Faughs are gone. Very possible as Harps are toast and Carrick will be trying to secure a direct semi- plus getting rid of Blayney at this stage would be a big bonus. That's easily the most interesting group in a poor championship so far,

Emyvale just need to win and hope Blayney lose. They'll qualify on head to head.

I think the tie breaker is head to head so even if Blayney loose by 1 and Emyvale win by 1, Blayney would be gone.

Few of these games are down to how teams will line out. Not every team will need to go full strength.

Scotstown
Ballybay
Inniskeen
Clontibret Latton draw
Clones
Magheracloone
Emyvale harps draw
Carrick
Drumhowan
Aghabog
Oram

I'd be amazed if donaghmoyne bet Inniskeen, by all reports yesterday they looked very bad. Inniskeen are a seasoned team and I think they'll be to good for the fotenoys. Clontibret could do killanny a favour.

If Clones beat Tyholland both them and Blackhill will be on a 3 way tie with 2pts each, and all have beat each other on H2H. Does it just come down to who has the best point difference then to take QF spot?

How did Truagh end up in intermediate with all their quality?! If young Cormac McKenna doesn't get called up to the county next year then something is badly amiss.

Well watching them yesterday,they belong in the same Division as Emyvale. In fact I believe Emyvale left that game behind them. As for the county, we have seen quite a few Truagh players tried over the years and they just don't seem to cut it. Good under-age players and then do not progress. Is it possibly a club issue? Some great performances on both sides last evening. Hopefully lads will get called up and make the grade.
